Snarl was about to take Lancex to see Scourge alone when Landmine and Leobreaker showed up. Snarl didn't recognize the bots and immediately went on guard. "Sir, these are my friends. They will not harm you. We come in peace, merely seeking a token that will help us shut down a black hole" Lancex explained. Snarl put his weapon down and led the three deep inside the secret temple. Landmine had heard of places like this but hadn't been sure that they existed. Leobreaker wasn't exactly sure what to think, but this scourge guy seemed like a bit of a loose cannon as Snarl informed the three about the leader of Jungle Planet.
The temple reeked of sulphur and other such fire potent smells and pools of what appeared to be lava were scattered about. The three continued to follow Snarl and soon, the wolf bot led the trio to the throne room where a three headed dragon bot sat. "Snarl, who do I see in front of me?" Scourge demanded to know, hissing.
"These bots came to this planet seeking some token" Snarl explained, hoping that the bots weren't here for the beast totem.
Scourge grew angry at that, as he was a bot that flew off the handle easily. "No one takes anything from my planet without facing me and proving their worth.. or their insignificance" Scourge responded, though his spark reacted when he saw Lancex.
"We didn't expect to just walk over and grab it" Lancex replied. "What must I do to prove my worth to you, so that I may secure this token we seek?"
"You must fight and defeat me" Scourge replied, using a cyber planet key to activate the two heads on either side of his main head.
Landmine and Leobreaker looked at each other. This seemed to be getting out of hand. "No one leaves until I am satisfied" Scourge stated, quickly knocking over Landmine and Leobreaker. "And I want you to fight" Scourge growled, pointing to Lancex.
"If I must do so to secure what I was sent here for, so be it" Lancex replied.
"You are brave, foolish bot" Scourge stated, getting closer and smelling this bot. Scourge liked the smell and it showed on his face. "Tell you what, we fight in two hours. If you win, you get what you want, but if I will,I get what I want."
"And just what do you want?" Lancex asked, not liking where this was heading.
"I want you" Scourge whispered sensuously into Lancex's audio. Lancex blushed a bit, but not enough for anyone to tell. "Think about it. Until then, get out of my home!" Lancex and the others left, for the moment.
Meanwhile, back on earth, Red Alert had news to tell Optimus. Optimus listened as Red revealed important information regarding the new bot, Lancex, being a submissive bot who needed 2 mates and would be able to carry. Optimus nodded, as little seemed to surprise him anymore. Jetfire, having been on the other side of the room, heard and passed out in shock. Optimus sighed, as Jetfire was acting strange lately and Optimus hoped to get to the bottom of it. Little did he know he would get help in that department.
